Painting of a nude woman with a wreath standing beside kneeling draped women reflected in a pool, with green hills behind.

The Mirror of Venus

A pale, nude woman with a wreath stands at the left of a grassy meadow, while draped women kneel and lean over a shallow pool to see their reflections. Rolling green hills and a pale sky fill the background, with the figures mirrored in the still water.
